Perang Pasifik atau Perang Asia Pasifik, atau yang dikenal di Jepang dengan nama Perang Asia Timur Raya (Greater East Asia War (大東亜戦争code: ja is deprecated , Dai Tō-A Sensō)) adalah perang yang terjadi di Samudra Pasifik, pulau-pulaunya, dan di Asia. Konflik ini terjadi antara tahun 1937 dan 1945. Namun peristiwa-peristiwa yang lebih penting terjadi setelah 7 Desember1941, ketika Jepang menyerang Pearl Harbor, Amerika Serikat serta koloni negara Sekutu di Asia dan Pasifik, yang membuat Amerika Serikat terlibat dalam Perang Dunia II bersama Sekutu.
Beberapa negara yang sebelumnya dijajah oleh negara-negara Eropa berhasil memperoleh kemerdekaan seperti Indonesia.Hal ini bisa dikatakan mengakhiri tidak hanya Indonesia namun juga berakhirnya kekuasaan kolonial Jepang atas orang kulit berwarna oleh orang kulit putih.
Kaisar Jepang kehilangan statusnya sebagai dewa. Amerika Serikat sebagai pemenang perang di Pasifik tidak ingin mengadili Hirohito, kaisar Jepang saat itu. Amerika Serikat membutuhkan daerah penyangga (buffer) untuk menahan arus pengaruh komunisme karena Rusia sudah mencapai kawasan timur Asia.
Jepang tidak diperbolehkan mempunyai angkatan perang, kecuali pasukan pembela diri.
^"For fifty-three months, beginning in July 1937, China stood alone, single-handedly fighting an undeclared war against Japan. On 9 December 1941, after Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, China finally declared war against Japan. What had been for so long a war between two countries now became part of a much wider Pacific conflict."[1]
